See here, I have a different CPU but same core count.

I’ve read a few success stories, both here and at Tonymacx86, taking advantage of recent developments in Nootedred.kext which enable AMD iGPU powered builds. This little guy uses the same CPU as several of the laptop builds posted here. It seemed because of that there was at least a good chance...

Thanks bro, it helped a lot. I copied your EFI and upgraded it to OC 0.9.9 with the latest versions of Kexts and Drivers, and installed Ventura successfully. Initially, I tried to install Sonoma 14.4 directly, but couldn't get past the boot screen. So, I tried with Ventura installer, and that worked. I will try to update to Sonoma later and hope that it will work. Earlier, I had an Intel i5 and I remember the pain to follow the OC guide and build the EFI from scratch. Your EFI saved me 1-2 days of trouble.

I am attaching my EFI for reference for others' benefit as well.

Update: Upgrade to Sonoma failed. Had to re-install Venture. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Have a read here, you should be able to get Sonoma installed but you will have to make additional changes using OCLP to get WIFI working. My suggestion, at least for now, is to stay with 14.3

Will have a look.

Meanwhile, the performance is very janky? The screen becomes RED for a while (occasionally) and the system seems to freeze of 3-5 seconds. Any idea about this?

You are talking about Ventura, right? Does your device sleep and wake successfully?

Yes, Ventura. The wake and sleep seem to be working fine.

I have a feeling that hardware acceleration is not enabled. See the attached images. This is the kind of behavior I get when I use browsers (Chrome or Edge) first time after reboot. This stays like this (with system almost stuck) for half a minute to a minute, and then everything runs smoothly going forward.

However, I did feel that Hardware acceleration is not enabled and when I opened Figma in Chrome, it did tell me the same.

Other users have reported problems with Chrome, that they couldn't run it at all. There is a newer version of NootedRed.kext that might help but if it doesn't don't be to surprised.

Already tried the new version of NootedRed and it did not help. So far, I noticed this problem with Chrome and Edge only.
